What's a DR trailer?
I purchased 2 x Narva resistors from Repco ( $35 from memory?), pop rivetted them to caravan drawbar (so any excess heat transferred to the drawbar if hazard lights left operating ), then wired each one Independently to to both the left and right indicator circuits on the van and worked like a treat .
Green Trailer Indicator Light On disco 4 dash comes on when either left/ right indicators selected and van connected and reverse buzzer disarmed.
My Snowy River Van has led side and rear lights.
Re wired both the rear round plugs to a 12 pin flat ( from very helpful but lengthy previous posts on this forum ) and a single Anderson plug for caravan fridge supply . Bought 2 x laser cut stainless 12 pin and Anderson Mounting brackets from Autospark in Perth ( again from forum info) . Works very well and neat solution . Decided to put resistors on drawbar as ran out of room in tow bar wiring area and was mindful of excess heat that may be generated by the resistors potentially causing a fire . There is a warning on the Narva packaging about possible heat build up.

My bad.
I have now discovered that the sensors do indeed cancel when reversing with the van on, screams when the van is off but the tow hitch is on. So all is good. Thanks.
Does anyone need a couple of new resistors which should arrive next week?
DR is a fingergraphical error for LR.

You can get some clear floor protectors that act as covers from Bunnings (search on here). You cut them in half and apply them to the reversing sensors nearest the hitch to stop them triggering. Easy fixQuote:
